ᴹQ. ulya-, v. (ya-causative) “to pour, flow” (Category: to Pour): Q. púlima “pourable, liquid”

A verb in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “pour” under the root ᴹ√ULU “pour, flow” (Ety/ULU). It had separate intransitive and transitive past tenses: ulle and ulyane, indicating a blending of ancient formative and causative verbs: *ulyă- and *ulyā-. Its past and perfect forms ulle “poured” and (ul)úlie “has poured” appeared in Quenya Verb Structure (QVS) from 1948 (PE22/112).

Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had two distinct verbs ᴱQ. ulu- “pour, gush (intr.)” and ᴱQ. ulto- “(tr.) pour”, both under the early root ᴱ√ULU¹ “pour, flow fast” (QL/97). The first of these reappeared in the Early Qenya Grammar of the 1920s as húle “he pours” = hu + ule, as well as hŭle “*it pours” = ha + ule (PE14/86).
